Three workers have been injured after the stage for an upcoming Elton John concert collapsed at the Maya pyramids of Chichen Itza, in southern Mexico April 3 2010.

Yeah, the riggers and crew don"t get alot of credit for what they do...but without them, the show doesn't go on. |

A crew member of Madonna died during a stage collapse last year, or am I wrong? I hope that they get well soon!
But I wasn't sad if the concert was cancelled. A few hundred ears would have been saved from persisting damage.  |

I don't like Madonna either! This "Sir" is a sometimes disgusting freak IMO. And his latest comment about Jesus possibly having been gay didn't really raise my sympathies for him.  |

| When I worked at Bandit Lites, we got the Christina Aguilera tour due to bad rigging. Crashed the entire light rig (total loss close to a half a million (USD) in lighting gear (that stuff ain't cheap). I give praise where and when praise is due to riggers! |

| Half a million?!?! God I wonder how much the lighting/stage would've been for Pink Floyds PULSE performance... Thats a different league to almost anything I've ever seen, and that was 16 years ago now! |

Hi Guys
I'm with Disco Stu on this one.
Blessings and Healing Prayers for those Roadies & Riggers.
I know how hard the lighting team & riggers work in our company.

Lemmy sang it best:
But I just love the life I lead,
Another beer is what I need,
Another gig my ears bleed,
